Wiping Cache and Data - ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi!
Everyone tells that I wiped my zenfone2 's cache data and all. Is it necessary to do? I got my zf2 a week ago and didn't do anything in recovery even didn't enter recovery.
Thank you all.

How can we wipe cache and data with stock recovery? Always do this in Twrp but dont have custom recovery yet...

Can I get more info, like which rom did you flash, and how did you root your phone, what process did you take? Did you do wipes prior to flashing. Thanks, will try to help you out.
Go back into recovery and flash your backup or use Odin to flash a stock rom, your just in a bootloop. You mustve flashed a bad download.

Seanster_GBaxe EX v1.4.1:Taste of ICS is the rom... pretty much used odin to install cwm base recovery 5.0.2.6 I dont think i wipe prior to flashing. Once I installed the rom it booted fine but everything was slow and my phone kept getting errors, so then i went back in cwm and wiped all the data, now when i try to install the rom again it just takes like 5 seconds to install, i reboot the phone but it keeps going into a loop.... at this point i am pretty lost. I am new to this stuff... :/
How do i download this rom/kernel/mod........
Oh thats right its in the wrong section ah thats it no wonder i couldnt figure it out (sarcasm)

Did you try clearing cache , wiping dalvik and fixing permissions?

On a more helpful note just wipe and reflash another rom or a backup if you have it, if that fails odin to the stock rooted rom.

I did that and still in a bootloop
Did you goninto recovery and wipe cache dalvik and permissions. Or even better just factory reset after installing stock rom. Odin to stock doesnt faxtory reset your phone. Old files could still be lingering in there.

i did that and the same thing is happening, this blows
Try redownloading the rom, then in recovery make sure you are A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc, Then flash the Rom.
Silly question but are you installing 1.4 before flashing 1.4.1? Cause I think that ROM needs the 1.4 full flashed prior to flashing 1.4.1.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
can you give me a link to a stock ROM? the one i am using is SGH-T989-Stock-UVKID
so then I do what you just told me
A. Wipe Factory Data Reset, B. Wipe Cache, C. Advanced Menu Wipe Dalvik D. Advanced Menu Wipe Battery Stats, E. Mounts/Storage Format Cache, System, Boot, Emmc,
Then flash the Rom - Go into Odin and Select the file(click pda), then click start - correct?
Follow this to get to stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462870
if phone isnt stock and you still have files there then do factory reset from phone or stock recovery.

Brick on 6.2.B.1.96 LT26i while flashing custom ROMs

I have a 6.2.B.1.96 build LT26i Xperia S.
I rooted my phone using DoomLord and the recovery using cray_Doze methods.
Following ROM instructions and a myriad of other combos like formatting phone, wiping cache, dalvik cache, applying permissions, formatting /system etc. my phone gets bricked after I select reboot system or power off in the recovery menu.
After I press the. power button, it vibrates once and nothing shows up on the screen. Only way to get the phone running was to flash a stock ftf using FlashTool
I've tried multiple ROMs, including CM, SlimBean and PacMan, all of them yield the same result.
Is there anyway I can fix the problem?
did you unlock your bootloader?

Nope, I don't get any errors.
So you wipe system dalvik cache and data, flash the rom, and what do you do before and after gapps?

I tried all of that. None of it works, the phone still bricks.
You're sure that you did it in the order specified?
Format /system
Wipe dalvik
Wipe cache
Wipe data
Right?

i dont realy always do it in that order, it just depends on how i remember it , sometimes i forget to wipe system, before flashing rom
Well check this
Make sure zip isnt corrupted, copying to your device can corrupt sometimes
ALSO does it do it with all ROMS?, if yes then i generaly cant help you now :/

Try wipe system cache and dalvik cache.
Btw, you updated to stock 4.2.2 with sense 5 via ota or manual flashing? The latter often has problem due to incorrect flashing steps or bad source file (wrong/corrupted).

I updated via ota.
As I remember I cannot wipe cache in HBOOT. Should I do it with fastboot, shouldn't I?

Are you unlocked the bootloader are you have warranty? I think the factory recovery can do this go in recovery and after this press volume up + power button onse short
If everything works fine after wipe, do a nandroid backup of rom and save it for future stock restoration when needed.

Yes, thought he knows that unlock bootloader might void warranty. But it's always good to tell.

Yes, I already unlocked my bootloader. The factory recovery cannot do this. And in fastboot I only can wipe the cache, the dalvik-cache cannot be wiped remotely.

In this case install Philz recovery extract from zip recovery.img and put in your fastboot folder go in bootloader and use the command fastboot flash recovery recovery.img after this go in recovery and wipe dalvik and cashe but if factory reset didn't help I am not shure this will!

from cwm latest one, format cache, data, system, data/media
not just wipe data/cache, format all these.
flash kdz, again wipe from within OS.
if still problems, than something wrong with hardware.
Try another rom if problem is remain so it's hardware failure otherwise you are lucky and try cm11's next update,

In philz go under wipe cache partition and select yes.Go back to main menu and click on advanced and click on wipe dalvik cache.Now reboot your phone and see if it goes past the boot screen.If still doesn't succeed then go to wipe data/factory reset(will wipe the internal phone memory,so will lose everything) and you need to reflash your stock rom via odin(if downloaded from sammobile) and re root your phone. or if it's a flashable zip file you can reflash it via philz recovery.

Internal memory wipes only on wipe data with stock recovery. Twrp have separate option I think to wipe it but on regular wipe data /factory reset on cwm/twrp just erase data partition and rest all files remain untouched.
